APPA Certification

After APPA determines the standards required for certification in consultation with member countries and the certification target is verified by the Certification Committee, a certain number of people are recognized per year. APPA's certification project is scheduled to begin in May 2025 and will be highly regarded not only in Asia but around the world.

Purpose of the Certification Project

If APPA member countries receive certification through trustworthy qualification verification, their national and global competitiveness can be recognized.

Being certified by APPA does not stop at certification but ensures the most efficient business activities possible through the certification network. Pilates is rapidly spreading in Asia, and maintaining verification is key to ensuring industrial activation does not spread unchecked.
